Intermarriage rate among list-based, affiliated Jewish households was approximately 9% - which was seen as an underestimate of the actual intermarriage rate within the community, since a "...significant number of Jews in mixed marriages lose their identification with the Jewish community."

Survey included 20 "issues/services" about which respondents were asked to report the level of importance of these items to them.

"The number one issue, without question, was support of Israel."

"Transportation services, housing, day care and long-term nursing care in a Jewish environment are all very highly ranked, and reflect the upper middle-aged and senior citizen concerns which are prevalent in the community."

Jewish Population estimate combined survey-based List sample estimate plus a series of estimates for individuals/households not included in the sampling frame (details pp. 9 -10). Report "estimates" precise numbers which Data Bank has rounded above to avoid implication of a level of precision that could not have existed in the survey. Precise estimates were a range of 16,251 to 20,120, with average of 18,185.

Data Bank version of report added in September 2012 from Jewish Federation source. Copy is marked "Draft #2: For Discussion Purposes Only," and has a few handwritten comments scattered in the text. It serves, however, as the survey report.

Report was submitted to the Planning and Budgeting Committee of the Federation by a sub-committee comprised of Kenneth A. Rogers, Martin Trossman and Toby Laping, Ph.D. Federation staff member was Dr. Stephen Grossbard, Director of Planning and Budgeting.
